FDOT District Six TMC Begins Control Room Retrofit

The Florida Department of Transportation District Six Intelligent Transportation Systems Program is retrofitting the Transportation Management Center’s control room to bring it up-to-date with current technological trends.

 

This project’s goal is to revamp the existing control room to help the FDOT and its partners with optimizing roadway operations, while providing flexibility for future growth. The project is expected to be completed this summer.

 

The retrofit project, which began in June, will completely overhaul the existing control room from the carpet and electrical wiring to the center’s well-known video wall. Specifically, the retrofit will focus on upgrading the control room’s technology and usability in order to improve the efficiency of operators and management staff as they manage District Six roadways. Improvements include better workstations with larger 24” and 32” monitors, new workstation desks and control room layout, and an upgrade that will make the room’s video wall with 7 more video cubes making it significantly larger and sharper. Additionally, the number of workstations increased from eight to 18, and six desks were also provided to support operations.
